The Benefits of Raising Your Child Like a Veal Calf

An idea occurred to me after noticing how well the crate we bought to train our new puppy would also fit our 3-year-old daughter.

We initially raised Skylar free-range, and she flourished for a long time that way. A couple of months ago, however, we started noticing signs that she couldn't handle it. Immediately after turning 3, for example, she announced that she now has a boyfriend and there's nothing we can do to stop them from napping together.

Raising Skylar like a veal will not only nip this in the bud but also provide the following benefits:

* Eating what she is served,not the gummy bears and Skittles she hordes in her room from her last three potty rewards.
